AI Adaptation Guide Hackathon: Empowering Businesses & Institutions
The AI Adaptation Guide Hackathon challenges participants to design the ultimate set of resources for business and public sector leaders who want to begin using AI, but need help navigating the crowded digital landscape.
Participants will:
- Identify pressing digitalisation problems faced by SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and public bodies (municipalities, agencies, etc.)
- Research, test, and recommend proven AI tools for automation, data analysis, process optimisation, and customer or citizen engagement
- Develop easy-to-follow implementation guides or training toolkits tailored to non-experts
- Create “AI awareness” pitch decks, interactive web pages, explainer videos, or onboarding frameworks
- Address ethical, privacy, and usability concerns to promote responsible adoption
This hackathon bridges the digital skills gap by making AI accessible and practical for local organisations, with special involvement from EDIH mentors.
The address for this onsite hackathon is: Rugjer Bošković St. No. 18, P.O. Box 574 – Skopje, North Macedonia
